Using Human (or Tango, that possibly direct from the Gnome site, as I had that in Breezy) causes the crash. Using a more sedate icon theme like Flat-Blue stops all the crashes ... you're probably not going to like the Heisenbug nature of what follows:
**Prior to changing the theme**, I bulit rsvg2-common from source and copied the new svg_loader.so in place of the distro version. This stopped gedit from crashing. However Nautilus still crashed. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?) Nautilus runs OK with icon theme Flat-Blue. (and the self compiled svg_loader). Haven't tried Flat-Blue and the distro svg_loader.
